I got very confused by studying this. I could really use some good explanation. For example, the equivalent unit of K₂Cr₂O₇ is 1/6K₂Cr₂O₇. If in a solution n_K2Cr2O7=0.1mol, we should have 6 times more of 1/6K₂Cr₂O₇ because 6*1/6=1, but it's not true. Please help .

labelling "equivalent" without specifying what something should be equivalent to is meaningless

hence your confusion


your example would be relevant in redox reactions with K₂Cr₂O₇ , where each chromium went from + VI to + III , and the substance oxidized would supply one electron each: here the molar ratios, i.e. "the equivalent"  would be 1:6
... but you have to specify this

That's not the point of my confusion. I have meant for the situation you wrote.
Now, can you explain the thing I asked at the beginning?

Unless I am missing something, you got it reversed. If it is 1/6, then to get 1 equivalent you need 1/6 of the mole, not 6 moles.
